NYC act King Crash shows a smooth, psych-friendly rock sound on new single “The Man in the Iron Mask.” Heralded for their live performances, the project shows its power in the studio as well with this one.
Metaphorical lyrical pursuits — “I am the violin, the choir, and the brass,” — complement tender guitar stylings and pit-pattering percussion, escalating past the one-minute mark into a more fervent vocal burst. The jazzy guitar work and rhythm section rounding the two-minute turn proves especially magnetic, exemplifying the act’s ability to infuse folk-friendly accessibility with jam-centric tranquility.
